Leftovers Pizza

Leftovers Pizza
According to a poll from the FoodTv.com website, out of 31 204 respondents, approximately 26.5% (8 282) considered pizza to be their favourite comfort food. While my comfort foods are more Asian-oriented, I crave a slice every so often just like everyone else.

So what happens when you're craving pizza and you've only leftovers? Answer: Pickup a cooked 9" pizza crust from the megamart, shred some cheese, slice, dice, and make a leftover pizza. With a couple cans of tomato paste in the pantry, almost-scratch pizza is just about ready-made. Besides, frozen pizza is just about as palatable as eating plastic coated cardboard...

Your pizza looks delish! Making your own dough is easy too! You can get whole wheat flour to make it a tad healthier and recipes for pizza dough can be found in abundance in many websites including allrecipes.com, epicurious, cooks.com, http://www.cdkitchen.com, etc...just google "whole wheat pizza dough recipes" and you'll come up with a slew of them! Just my two sense. Another variation is to use pesto sauce instead of tomator sauce base, and top with chicken, plum tomatoes, feta cheese and drizzle with honey ~~~ mmmmmm

Alas, my experience with making pizza dough is lacking. I'll have to rectify that issue. I happen to have purchased a brand new pizza stone and have been itching to try it out. Right now, it's only acting as a thermal capacitor in my aging oven...

Mmmm...Pesto pizza...My mouth is watering already!!!
